Abstract

James C. Kimberly’s theory is an alternate to the theory developed in TR#7 and to other theories of status inconsistency. Kimberly posits that individuals take their least changeable (ascribed) rank as the focal rank and compare all other ranks to it in determining consistency or inconsistency. This TR was published by the author (1967). A formalization and extension of the theory in this TR also was published by the author (1966).
Later published in "Human Relations", 20 (no.2), pp.171-179.
